AfterCGI Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Palm Beach: What to Know First
We’re an independent CGI service provider in Palm Beach, and we repair and replace shingle, tile, and metal roof systems on homes from the Intracoastal estates to El Cid. Most CGI roofing service calls in Palm Beach get diagnosed within 48 hours, with repairs scheduled the same week. Pricing runs on an honest rule: you get a line-item quote before we touch anything, and if it’s not done right, our 36500-Day Done Right Promise means we come back and make it right. This page is for homeowners who own a CGI roof and want straight answers about what fails, what it costs, and who can actually fix it. Call (561) 831-7863 to talk to a live person, any hour.
How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- CGI’s metal roof panel seams in the Hurricane line. Palm Beach salt air eats at the seam gaskets faster than CGI’s inland national averages predict. We see hairline gaps form around the third year near the ocean side, which lets wind-driven rain creep under the panel edge. Our fix is a full seam inspection, reseal with marine-grade butyl tape, and replacement of any gasket that’s stiff or cracked, not just a tube of caulk over the top.
- Tile roof underlayment failure beneath CGI’s Sentinel tile profile. The tile itself holds up fine in Palm Beach heat, but the underlayment underneath breaks down from trapped humidity. When the underlayment goes, leaks show up at the ceilings weeks after a storm, not during. We pull the tile in the affected section, replace the underlayment with a high-temp synthetic rated for Florida’s UV, and reset the same tile if it’s still sound.
- Shingle granule loss on CGI’s asphalt shingle lines installed before 2018. Some of those early batches shed granules in Palm Beach’s afternoon downpours more than later runs. We confirm it’s granule loss and not manufacturing defect, then quote a targeted replacement section rather than pushing a full re-roof when it isn’t needed.
- Flashing separation at roof-to-wall transitions on CGI metal roofs. This is the one we see most on Palm Beach custom builds with barrel tile or metal accents. The step flashing pulls away from the wall because the original installers used fasteners that rusted in the salt air. We replace with stainless clips, recut the counterflashing, and check the wall sheathing for rot before closing it back up.
- CGI’s flat-profile metal panels and ponding on low-slope sections. Some Palm Beach additions with almost flat pitches hold water along the panel ribs. That standing water eventually works into the fastener holes. We re-pitch the panel section, upgrade to gasketed fasteners, and seal with a polyether that stays flexible in Palm Beach’s UV.
Our CGI Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Process
- 1
You call, a person answers. No voicemail loop. We get the address, the roof type, and what you’re seeing, then schedule the trip. No trip charge inside our home county.
- 2
We diagnose on the roof, not from the ground. Our tech walks the affected area, checks the slope, the flashing, the fasteners, and the underlayment. We take photos you can keep.
- 3
We decide OEM vs. quality aftermarket with you. CGI parts for older lines aren’t always available fast. We source OEM when it matters for warranty; otherwise we recommend a spec-matched aftermarket part and tell you why.
- 4
Line-item quote before any work starts. You know the exact number. No change orders later unless we find rot or water damage we couldn’t see before opening the section, and we call you before we go further.
- 5
The repair, then the test. We fix what failed, then run water where the water comes from. If it leaks, we’re not done.
- 6
Cleanup and the 36500-Day Done Right Promise. We clean up like we were never there except the fix. If it’s not done right, Ed Winslow’s name is on the line, and we come back.

FAQs
It can. CGI’s warranty language requires repairs that affect the roof system to be done by qualified contractors using compatible materials. As an independent CGI service provider, we document everything so your warranty stays intact if the roof is still under coverage. Call (561) 831-7863 and we’ll check your warranty status before quoting.
Most CGI shingle and metal components are available through Florida suppliers within 3 to 5 business days. Some older CGI tile profiles have a longer lead time, and that’s when we talk honestly about aftermarket options. In the meantime, we can usually get your leak temporarily sealed so it stops doing damage while parts ship.
If the roof is under 10 years old and the issue is localized, repair is almost always the right call. If the underlayment is failing in multiple sections or the panels are rusting at the fasteners across the roof, replacement may be cheaper over five years than chasing repairs. We’ll tell you which one we’d do at our own house.
We handle the full shingle, tile, and metal roofing system, from underlayment to flashing to ridge caps to gutters if needed. If your CGI roof is mixed with other products or you have windows and doors affected by the same storm, we can handle all of it in one trip.
No, unless we open a section and find structural rot or water damage that was impossible to see from the surface. If that happens, we stop, show you photos, and get your okay before any additional work. That’s the Winslow way. Upfront pricing. No surprises on the invoice.
If your CGI roof is leaking, lifting, or just looking tired under the Palm Beach sun, call (561) 831-7863 for a free estimate. A live person answers. A real owner stands behind it. We’re the one down the road.
